Write your own!
Published on April 17, 2008 By Death_By_Beebles In Fiction Writing

Here's the idea: formulate a story using six words. Any six words. But choose them carefully.

 

My stories:

"She died in his arms. Again."

"We lost ourselves on an airplane."

"I gave my life to die."

 

It's a fun little exercise I like to do when I'm writing poetry and my muse runs dry. Try it!

A bird crapped on my head.

I like your attempts and I like the idea too. Tova mentioned something like this the other day as a potential challenge for the JU Writers Club.

Off the top of my head, here are a few of my own:

"Wasted fat, he ate himself away."

"Strangers met like lovers at landsend."

@dynamaso: I loved your stories! I don't really consider myself a part of the JU Writer's Club, but I'll have to look into it a bit more. There are a group of really talented individuals in these here parts.

@misterME: Excellent.

Hmm, the ever brilliant Alex.

...but 6 words.  Mmm, it's hard for me to be succinct sometimes.

"Betrayed, and death came unto them."

"Love evoked, caused us to blossom."

"Anger took us, pain our fuel."

Interesting concept...that it is.

Beebles,

I loved your stories!


Thanks

I often read but rarely comment on your posts. In my opinion, you'd be a welcome addition to JUWC.

I took a trip to Spain.

Nobody knows that I am here.

I run, you chase. Let's go.

It may take a bit of getting used to, but from what I've seen at dynamaso's blog, you're doing wonderfully.

Since I'm a little brain dead right now I guess I'll cheat and put some here from last year, and to continue the cheating part the last story is 7 words.
